Flexible learning programmes - Early Childhood NZ Pou Manawa Akoranga

CORE’s Learning Design team were employed to assist Early Childhood NZ in adapting their current courses to suit a more flexible and blended delivery model.

Te Rito Maioha Early Childhood New Zealand (ECNZ) are changing the way they deliver their courses by introducing the Flexi-Learn programme, that allows students to study from wherever they are in the country. Flexi-Learn is a blended model of delivery which required re-thinking how their learning management system was used to support and engage learners that did not meet face-to-face as frequently.

Working as part of a team with ECNZ e-learning staff, the CORE Learning Design team contributed to the planning of the courses and was responsible for constructing the first two courses to be delivered using Flexi- Learn. The courses were built from scratch in a Moodle-based learning management system, and have provided the template on which to base the construction of future courses.
